Australia’s Largest Christian News Site

Recently I wrote an article called "Easter: God’s Vaccine for Humanity". Using vaccines as an analogy for the Gospel, I mentioned a recent news report about Bill Gates investing his personal wealth in the search for a coronavirus vaccine. I clearly hadn’t done my homework [...]

Intention God gives us His heart of compassion so we can extend His heart of compassion to others. Scripture “You are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity.” —Jonah 4:2b Read Jonah 4:1-11. [...]

We must not get complacent about restrictions imposed during the crisis. ___ This is a free country. It’s a phrase we’ve all used, even from schoolyard days—often to stand up to a bully trying to exert their control over us. “This is a free country” [...]

George Christensen is a Federal MP, representing the Queensland electorate of Dawson. He is also the host of a brand new podcast called Conservative One. I happened to sit next to Mr Christensen last year at the Church and State conference in Brisbane. He was [...]

Last week we heard from many of you about GO 2020 — a global initiative to mobilise 100 million Christians to reach 1 billion people for Christ in the month of May. We asked if the Canberra Declaration should sign on, and your answer was [...]

It’s a strange time to be celebrating Easter. We would normally be enjoying the long weekend near water or sun, spending time with our friends and extended families, and gathering in our local churches. Instead, for the most part, we will be bunkered down inside [...]

What if this present moment—a time of untold global chaos—was actually a wide open door for you into prosperity? As you read the news, that may seem unlikely. But in recent weeks, there are many around the world who have been seeking out something stronger [...]

A deadly plague has stolen the lives of some 17,500 lives in Australia so far this year. That’s almost 200 people every day, or one every eight minutes. What plague could possibly be so deadly? It is the plague of abortion. We learn some important [...]

Today was going to be my wedding day. Angie and I had everything planned. A ceremony by the beach; a reception at the winery across the road where I grew up; thirty guests joining us from overseas. But then the coronavirus came. I first read [...]

We are living in a different world to the one we were a week ago. In December 2019, a pneumonia outbreak was detected in the city of Wuhan, China. It was soon traced to a new strain of coronavirus—but not before travellers with coughs and [...]

Is it just me, or is the cultural chasm between “left” and “right” widening by the month? On social media especially, accusations of ignorance and ill motive are thrown about more casually than ever. It’s even common now to see people gloat when their rivals [...]

What price would you pay to follow Jesus? Five hundred years ago, the people of Europe whispered of a mysterious ‘Garden of Eden’ across the seas. It was a distant paradise better known as the Spice Islands, the home of cloves and nutmeg. In London [...]

It’s becoming more obvious with each passing year, and just about everyone in the West will agree: to be a Christian means to walk out of step with mainstream culture. It’s such a fixed feature of modern life that Christians have adapted a variety of [...]

A couple years back during that infamous postal vote, 62% of Australians who responded (equivalent to just under half of all those eligible to vote) indicated they were in favour of legalising same-sex marriage. During the debate, many warned that if marriage was redefined, a [...]

Like me, you may have noticed the calls growing louder each year to change the date of Australia Day—or even abolish it altogether. This weekend, for example, Greens leader Richard De Natale tweeted: Today is not a day of celebration. For First Nations people it [...]

It almost sounds fictional, doesn’t it? Like a sick plot from a dystopian novel. But here we are in 2020, and governments across the western hemisphere are sending their citizens’—our—tax dollars to abort brown babies in Africa, Asia and Latin America. So much for letting [...]

We mourn with those who have lost loved ones and property in the 2019-2020 Australian bushfires. And yet, through the smoke, we can see the hand of God in many miraculous events that have taken place.

The president of UQ’s conservative Liberal National Club, who protested a children’s drag queen event at a Brisbane library on Sunday, has been found dead. Wilson Gavin, 21, was found by Queensland police and ambulance services at Chelmer Railway Station just after 7am the day [...]

After months of record-breaking drought, our beautiful country of Australia is now facing a terrible season of bushfires. Since October, five million hectares of land have been burnt—an area as big as Croatia. Over 1300 homes have been destroyed, and sadly, 17 people have lost [...]

First it was Brexit in 2016. A few months later it was Trump. In May this year, Australia was stunned to see Scott Morrison soar to victory. And most recently, in a landslide result that stole the world’s attention, Boris Johnson turned Britain blue. Posting [...]
